App Description

Plot is a scientific 2D plotting
program.

This project started in 1993 with SciPlot on NeXTStep and continues with "Plot" for OS X till
2007.

Plot is designed for everyday plotting, it is easy to use, it creates high quality plots, and it allows
easy and powerful manipulations and calculations of data.

Basically Plot allows to work with multiple documents
where every document consists of one or more XY data sets (called buffer in Plot).

There is also the possibility
to add subviews (plots inside plots) to your document. A subview is completely independent with its own data buffers,
graphic attributes etc.

Data can be imported from text or binary files, directly from a MySQL database, with a
Perl based import filter. It is also possible to import data by using copy&paste or drag&drop from other
programs.

The best plotting software

I am still trying to get used to the new interface, but the concept of this plot is phenomenal. Normalizing spectra, translating them are a breeze. I would be very happy to see the following issues addressed for its next version: 1. Accurate exports of large datasets. Currently if you plot/stack large datasets, the plot appearance when you copy/export them can be different when you change the window width. Not every points were plotted. 2. Stacking, 3D stacking. 3. Faster, better performance in handling large data sets (“speed mode”)

The downfall of a great program

This program “plot” used to be one of the best 2D graphics programs out there coming from the next-step era. It gave the user excellent control over the details of the plot and the fitting capability was quite good. plot stopped working and plot2 was born. It could do almost nothing when it was first released - but - O.K. - it could be slowly improved. But it nerver was. After many updates plot2 finally reached the state of ultimate dysfunctionality. Forget data fitting - that never worked with plot 2.0 - I’d be happy if it could actually open the data files I once plotted with “plot”. My recommendation to whoever develops this software is to remove it asap from the App Store, make it work and then make it available again. There are good commercial alternatives such as “Kaleidagraph” and free alternatives such as “gnuplot”, infinitely more capable than plot 2.0.

The best scientific plotting application available for the MAC

I have relied on this application since Mr. Wesemann released it for the NeXTstep operating system. While not completely intuitive, the application is BY FAR the best application for creating publication quality scientific plots of data. The scientific community of Macintosh users should support his endeavor.

Great app that has saved by bacon.

I’ve used Plot 1.x several times over the years to deal with large dataset that Excel and similar programs could not handle. Though I’ve switched over to using R and Python for handling such datasets, I still use Plot to quickly sort through data and get a rough idea of how I would like to display this data for reporting purposes.I’m very pleased to see development continue on this app and look forward to exploring its new look and features. Just on past experience alone this app gets five stars from me!
